lie low and high hopes
Unfortunately due to some conflict with our schedules, our alternative band decided to lay low for now. The harsh realities of life...
But wait, all is not lost!
Right now, I'm focusing all my energies to my ska-punk band "Green Leafy Veggie". Here's a little background on us:
Green Leafy Veggie was formed by the brothers Jonathan(drummer) and Noel(bassist) San Felipe. Started way back in high school, the band was able to play gigs at Freedom Bar and Watering Hole and other bars. But of course, as with most bands, a lot of line-up changes occured. Green Leafy Veggie was already making a name for itself when Noel, the bassist, had to leave for a job abroad. The band was dormant 2 years.
Fast forward to 2005, Jo and Noel together with original guitar player Chard decided to regroup and play again. It was at this time that they invited their high school batch mate Brian(also our singer in our alternative band) to join the group. After a few jams, they decided they get another guitar player. This is where I came in. Brian asked me to try it out. I auditioned and luckily I passed. :)
I've been with the band since June 2005 and I'm really impressed with the pace our band is moving. We practice once a week usually on Sundays but there are also times we played on weekdays. Last August 16, 2005, we recorded our first demo at 6 underground in Makati. 9 songs in 50 mins. The joys of being a punk band hehehe!
Right now, our band is gearing up for an eight- legged bar tour. Kickoff is on Sept 10, 2005 at Festival Mall in Muntinlupa. I'm really excited with all of these happening in our band now. I've always dreamed of this ever since I was a kid. I owe this to God, my parents, Kim and to all my friends who believed in me. Thank you so much! :)
